Southeastern (train company)

SE Trains Limited, trading as Southeastern is a train operating company in southeast England owned by DfT Operator for the Department for Transport, On 17 October 2021, it became the franchisee for the South Eastern franchise, overtaking the company owned Southeastern. It serves the commuter routes to south-east London, most of Kent, and parts of East Sussex.

In October 2021, Govia-owned Southeastern kept £25 million instead of paying it back to Department for Transport so on 17 October 2021 it was replaced by a government-owned company with the same name.
